Answer 1

Answer:

The minimum sample size needed 64 monthly U.S. rental car mileages.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete as all the important data are omitted. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question as follows:

A consumer advocacy group is doing a large study on car rental practices. Among other things, the consumer group would like to estimate the mean monthly mileage, u, of cars rented in the U.S. over the past year. The consumer group plans to choose a random sample of monthly U.S. rental car mileages and then estimate u using the mean of the sample. Using the value 850 miles per month as the standard deviation of monthly U.S. rental car mileages from the past year, what is the minimum sample size needed in order for the consumer group to be 95% confident that its estimate is within 175 miles per month of u?

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

The minimum sample size needed can be calculated using the following sample size formula:

n = ((Z * S) / E)^2 ………………………… (1)

Where:

n = sample size or minimum sample size = ?

Z = Confidence interval at 95% = 1.645

S = Standard deviation = 850

E = Accepted magnitude of error = 175

Substituting all the relevant values into equation (1), we have:

n = ((1.645 * 850) / 175)^2 = (1,398.25 / 175)^2 = 7.99^2 = 63.8401, or 64.

Therefore, the minimum sample size needed 64 monthly U.S. rental car mileages.

What’s the distance ?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem asks one to find the length of the given line. Another way to think about this problem is to believe that the problem asks one to find the distance from one point to another. The endpoints on this line are the following,

[tex](4,2), (5, 5)[/tex]

The formula to find the distance between two points on a 2-dimensional coordinate plane is as follows,

[tex]D=\sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2*(y_1-y_2)^2}[/tex]

Substitute the endpoints of the line into the formula and solve for the distance between the points,

[tex]D=\sqrt{(4-5)^2*(2-5)^2}[/tex]

Simplify, solve for the distance between the two points,

[tex]D=\sqrt{(4-5)^2*(2-5)^2}[/tex]

[tex]D=\sqrt{(-1)^2*(-3)^2}\\\\D=\sqrt{1*9}\\\\D=\sqrt{9}\\\\D=3[/tex]

The x-coordinates for which the gradient of the curve is 5 is at x = -1/2 and x = 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function:

[tex]\displaystyle y=\frac{x^2 -1}{x}[/tex]

And we want to find the x-coordinates for which the gradient (or slope) at the point is 5.

The gradients of a curve at a point is given by its derivative. Find the derivative:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{d}{dx}\left[\frac{x^2-1}{x}\right][/tex]

Use the quotient rule:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{(x^2-1)'(x)-(x^2-1)(x)'}{(x)^2}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{(2x)(x)-(x^2-1)(1)}{x^2}[/tex]

Simplify:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{x^2+1}{x^2}[/tex]

Since the gradient is 5, substitute 5 for dy/dx and solve for x:

[tex]\displaystyle 5=\frac{x^2+1}{x^2}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by (x ≠ 0):

[tex]5x^2=x^2+1[/tex]

Subtract from boths sides:

[tex]4x^2=1[/tex]

Solve for x:

[tex]\displaystyle x=\pm\sqrt{\frac{1}{4}}=\frac{1}{2}\text{ or } -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

So, the x-coordinates for which the gradient of the curve is 5 is at x = -1/2 and x = 1/2.

In the accompanying diagram, ABC is isosceles, BC is extended to D. AB = AC. and M

Answers

Answer:

m∠ACD = 130

Step-by-step explanation:

If ABC is an isosceles, AB = AC and m∠A = 80°, then m∠B and m∠C is equal to 50°.

This is because angles in a triangle adds up to 180°.

180° - 80° = 100°/2 = 50°

∴ m∠ACD = 130°, this is because the interior opposite angles in a triangle is supplementary to the opposite exterior angle:

50° + 80° = 130°

Or

Angles on a straight line adds up to 180°.

180° - 50° = 130°

Abby went to the store to buy ice cream for her party. Each box costs $3. She has a coupon for 20% off her total. If Abby buys 3 boxes, what will she pay after using the coupon?

Answers

Answer: 7.2$

hope it helps :)

step-by-step explanation:

Cost of each box = 3$

Cost of 3 boxes without 20% coupon = 9$

With 20% off Coupon = 9 by 100 multiplied by 20

                                     (the zero's cut with each other leaving)

                                     = 9 by 10 multiplied by 2

                                     (9 multiplied by 2 = 18)

                                     = 18 by 10

                                     (18 divided by 10 = 1.8)

                                     = the 20% of 9$ is equal to 1.8

                                        when subtracted with the total cost leaves 7.2$

the perimeter of a rectangular painting is 304 CM. If the width of the paint is 63 cm what is the length​

Answers

Answer:

The PERIMETER P is the distance around the rectangle.

Let's call the width of the rectangle W and the length of the rectangle L.

As you go around the edge there two equal lengths and two equal widths.

The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is P=2*L+2*W.

P=2L%2B2W

Substitute 290 for P and 62 for the width.

290=2L%2B2%2862%29

Solve for L.

290=2L%2B2%2862%29

290=2L%2B124

290-124=2L

2L=166

L=83

The equation L=83 means that the length is 83 cm.

CHECK your work.

2(62)+2(83) = 124+166 = 290cm.

The length of the rectangle is 83cm.

Part C: Verify if Point L is on the perpendicular bisector of JK. Justify your conclusion.

Answer:

Following are the responses to the given question:

Step-by-step explanation:

For point a:

Bisector Theorem: When a point has been on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, the perpendicular bisector is equivalent towards the segment endpoints. They understand that conversation also valid in addition to the Theorem including its perpendicular bisector. So the distance b/w L and J, L, and k must be found. Examine it then.

For point b:

Calculating the distance among two point:

[tex]d_0 = \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 +(y_1-y_2)^2}[/tex]

Calculating the distance among J and L

[tex]d_1 = \sqrt{((-9)-(-7))^2 + (5)-(-8))^2}[/tex]

    [tex]=\sqrt{(-2)^2+(13)^2}\\\\ = \sqrt{173}[/tex]

Calculating the distance among  K and L  

[tex]d_2 = \sqrt{((-9)-(1))^2 + (5)-(4))^2}[/tex]

    [tex]=\sqrt{(10)^2+(1)^2}\\ = \sqrt{101}[/tex]

For point c:

As these two distances are not equal, L doesn't really lie on the JK bisector.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The main idea here is to use your English comprehension skill to determine the meaning of the phrase, then use your math understanding to write it in symbols. Turning off your brain at the sight of a "word problem" will not be productive.

The wording "some number" or "a variable" or "unknown value" all refer to a variable, typically represented by a single letter. Letters commonly use are {a, b, c, x, y, z}, but variables are not restricted to that set (nor to single letters, nor lower case letters).

In most cases, the math expression is a direct translation of the English expression using the usual math symbols. Values are generally increased by addition, decreased by subtraction, squared using an exponent of 2. A product is the result of multiplication, and a quotient is the result of division.
